It’s Prudent and Vital to Ask About ROI

At Productivity Pit Stop, we’re experts in upcycling lost time into measurable productivity assets. Return on investment: Considering the average Q1 2024 salary in South Africa of R26,791 and the involvement of (as example) 12 participants, the time saved after the training is valued at R321,492.

With the training investment and the cost of the time required for the training estimated at R14,624.16, the adjusted ROI stands at approximately 247.1%.  This means you can expect to gain an additional 2.47 Rand in value for every Rand invested in the training.

Beyond the ROI of direct time savings, addressing the Cost of Inaction (COI) is essential. Inaction can lead to losing one month of productive time every year, increased employee turnover, higher stress, and lowered morale.
